• Police investigate bank robbery at Largo bank – [your]NEWS (yournews.com) — A bank on East Bay Drive in Largo was robbed Monday afternoon, and police are asking anyone who saw suspicious activity to come forward. Investigators say a man in a sports jacket and straw hat left Valley Bank on a dark-colored mountain bike. No injuries were reported, but the suspect remains at large as detectives review evidence.
• Largo dog groomer responds after dog dies during grooming appointment (fox13news.com) — A Largo dog grooming shop was cited for neglect after a 10-year-old Great Pyrenees died during a grooming appointment, though the owner disputes responsibility and no necropsy was done. The case is now inspiring an advocate to draft "Rilee's Law," which could require emergency training for Florida groomers. The business says it has already added CPR and emergency procedures.
• Largo Man Suffers Severe Burns After Pasco County I-75 Truck Crash; Fundraiser Launched (tampafp.com) — A Largo man, Rich Wenz, is recovering from severe burns after his concrete truck overturned and caught fire on I-75 in Pasco County.
